throughout a month's honeymoon In j

ine Indians numDie aomicue near Henryetta. Okla.. they swept aside all evidence presented in three months of procedure in the Kansas supreme court and suit to annul the union has been ciossed off the calendar.The suit was brought by Carl J. O'Hornett, of Henryetta, Okla., the Trd'an's ruardian. and Cato Sells, U. S. Commissioner nf Indian Affairs. It set forth that Barnett was illiterate and that last May he and his bride eloped in an automobile furnished by the woman, crossed the Kansas line and were married in Arkansas City. In the original proceedings instituted in the Kansas supreme court, Guardian O'Hornett petitioned that his aged ward be restored to him. It was charged that the bride had kidnapped her husband and that she was an adventuress. Barnett, characteristic of his race, is a man of few words. He made It plain to the court, however, that he was well content. Stand Matrimonial Test "The Indian and his bride appear to have stood the test of matrimony," commented Judge A. M. Jackson, commissioner appointed by the supreme court to hear the evidence In the case." It was agreed that Barnett and his wife be permitted to go on a honeymoon of a month. The honeymoon over they still -maintain they are satisfied, so after conference with all parties concerned. It was agreed to recommend to the supreme court that the case be dropped." The supreme court acted In accord with Judge Jackson's recommendations. The" Indian for many years lived on his land allotment near Henryetta, his horses and dogs his only companions. He made little use of his land, Us cash allotment from the government being ample to purchase his few worldly needs. But a few years ago Barnett 's farm began to yield oil Under his state and federal guardians, the Indian's wealth increased from the royalties until, according to O'Hornett, it now exceeds a million dollars.

LOCAL STUDENTS HEAD COLLEGE COMMITTEE

Gurney H. Stidham of Richmond, was chosen chairman of Wayne county organization by students from his county attending Indiana university, to lead in the formation of a program for more public support of the state educational institutions and education in Indiana. Chairman Stidham is a senior at the university and ia active in student affairs. Indiana university, and the other state institutions are asking for sufficient levy to enable them to keep pace with the forward movement in higher education and give the best instruction possible to the students. In the past few years the states surrounding Indiana have broadened their support of ihe university and because of this the best members of the faculties of the state educational institutions in Indiana have been attracted away from the Hoosier state. To regain their position in educational circles Indiana's schools of higher learning must have more liberal public support. All the state educational institutions in Indiana are cramped for class rooms and need more equipment. Enrollment has increased a large per cent and the funds of the state educational institutions, Indiana, Purdue and State Normal have not been sufficient to permit building new class rooms, or renewing heir equipment and adding the latest developments. Surrounding states supported Institutions have budgets as high as three times as much as the Indiana institutions. Other Wayne county students chosen in the organization are Lloyd Rust of Richmond, vice chairman, and Janet Seeker of Richmond, secretary. This committee will have charge of the school program In Wayne county.

(By Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Jan. 4. Correspondence between F. W. Galbraith, Jr., national commander of the American Legion, and Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, has been made public at the national headquarters of the legion. The letters, which continue au exchange begun before Mr. Galbraith took office, reveal the two executives in accord on the principle that an organization, as such, can scarcely be held responsible for acts of individual members which may not agree with either the letter or the spirit of the body's official pronouncements. Each of the correspondents expressed the hope , that they might meet and talk over the problems confronting them. The first letter was written by Mr. Galbraith Nov. 2 in response to one which Mr. Gompers had sent to Franklin D'Olier, former commander of the legion, last August. The labor leader had called attention to reports that "members of Tha American Legion were improperly participating in certain political activities in the state of Kansas" and Mr. Galbraith wrote that a reply had been delayed because he needed time to familiarize himself with the situation. He added: "As a result of an investigation the officials of the American Legion in Kansas report that The American Legion did not participate as such in the incidents reported to you. If any member of The American Legion did take part in any of these reported incidents, it was entirely upon their own responsibility, without sanction from any official of The American Legion and in violation of our expressed policy.
